My love for plays on words makes this Celebrity Aptronyms gallery one of my favourite Worth1000 contest themes. In a collection of [creatively photoshopped images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meal-diamond) in which “their name is their job,” we see some really creative literal interpretations of famous celeb names.

The gallery includes photoshopped Celebrity Aptronyms of Amy Winehouse in a wine cellar, Dakota Fanning fanning herself, Terry Hatcher in a bird’s nest, David Letterman as a delivery guy, [Sean Combs as a barber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-of-the-mustaches), Holly Hunter as a vampire slayer, Jack Black as a black smith, Oprah as an opera singer, Penelope Cruz as a cruise ship captain and Gerard Butler as a, well, butler.

This is Worth1000’s 5th Celebrity Aptronyms contest, so if you enjoy these be sure to look through their archives.
